The fundament of GNU/Linux and Windows are totally different. The annoying things with Windows are just symptoms of the underlying principle, which is to milk you as much as possible. It’s like switching from smoking to not smoking
While I wouldn’t comment something like that myself, as I think it’s not productive, it’s quite strange as a Linux user to see these posts like “The makers of the OS I use on the computer I paid money for and now own are trying to screw me over in a new way today. How can I fix it?”
The thing I am now curious about is if this is, quite predictably, Lemmy’s existing culture, OR if they were having a perfectly good time in their clubhouse until all the most insufferable Redditors came charging in here.
Why does it seem like any issue with Windows is met by “INSTALL LINUX!!!”. If the check engine on my car comes on I am not going to buy a truck.
Yeah you could probably just install Linux on your car and bypass that light instead of buying a truck.

I think the real problem is that OP doesn’t own Windows, “the software is licensed, not sold.”
To be fair, the chance of that not being the default response on Lemmy was pretty slim.

Yeah but if the truck is free and better than your current car…
It this case, also more environmental friendly, repairable and improves self-determination, independence and the local economy.
